Chapter 48 Scandal
There is never any quiet time in the Yuanping Mansion. There is no excitement in the third room, but there is in the fourth room.
Aunt Chen from the fourth room had a miscarriage.
It is said that Aunt Qin gave me the medicine.
Aunt Chen cried like a tearful person and kept asking Mr. Su Si to make the decision.
Mr. Su Si was so angry that he wanted to beat Aunt Qin to death, but Mrs. Cen stopped her. The reason was very simple. Aunt Chen had a miscarriage and was still young. Although the doctor suspected that she had eaten something wrong, he could not accurately judge whether it was.
It was caused by drugs. Aunt Qin's maid had only boiled medicine for Aunt Qin when she went to the kitchen, and no one saw that the maid had poisoned her.
In addition, Mrs. Cen also said what she had said before about raising the second house, saying that she did not agree with the move when the second house was moved, but the fourth house had few heirs. The fourth master spoke so well of Aunt Qin's horoscopes, and it was hard for her to say anything.
It was embarrassing, but later Master Su Si didn't like the two maids she sent as a gift, so she recruited them back and put a dowry on them to marry them off.
Since Aunt Qin is the second wife who was brought in seriously, and she is from an official family, she cannot be treated as an ordinary maid and be punished and sold at will. The Chen sisters deliberately tortured Aunt Qin before, and she is almost dead now.
How can you still have the energy to do such a thing? Aunt Qin and the fourth master are married. As the saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts for a night and a hundred days. There is no evidence or evidence. Why do you do such a vicious thing?
Mr. Su Si was left speechless and had no choice but to send Aunt Qin back to the Qin family under Mrs. Cen's decision. Her future life, old age, illness and death would have nothing to do with her.
However, not long after Aunt Qin left, rumors spread outside.
They exposed all the secrets of Little Chen, saying that when Little Chen was in her natal family, she was treated as a plaything and given to officials and business partners who had business dealings with the Chen family to sleep with. She was no different from a prostitute. Unfortunately, she eventually met Su
The Fourth Master, a fool, took care of this for the Chen family.
Rumor has it that he has a nose and a right eye, and even several officials and wealthy businessmen are mentioned by name. Officials want to save face, so they naturally deny it righteously, and the wealthy businessmen have no scruples and can only smile.
No matter how much Mr. Su Si likes Xiao Chen, he can't bear to have so many cuckolds on his head.
However, something even more exciting is yet to come. A scandal also breaks out in Kangjun Prince's Palace.
It is said that the little girl who was raised by the princess died unexpectedly. Originally, this was nothing, as children of that age are prone to die young, but the baby girl who was pregnant with the next child of the house actually did not live for a few days.
The baby girl was born at full term. At first, the doctor diagnosed her as having no disease or disaster. Rumors spread throughout the palace that the Princess of Kang County did not want to raise two losers, so she deliberately killed the child.
At this time, Tongfang, who had just given birth to a child, went crazy and jumped out to correct him, saying that although the two aunts given to the prince by Princess Kangjun were from innocent families, they had been carefully trained by the mother of the brothel for more than half a year.
It is to seduce the prince and take advantage of the prince's youth to drain the prince's body.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole house was in an uproar. At this time, the Crown Princess seized the opportunity and before the Crown Prince came back, she interrogated the two aunts severely. The aunt confessed and even revealed that the mother of the brothel was responsible for the training.
King Kang was furious, and Wei Zhen was blowing the wind on the pillow. The angry King immediately reported to the clan government that he wanted to divorce the princess.
The news reached Yuan Ping Bo Mansion.
The uncle's house was boiling with excitement.
Let’s not talk about the reactions of the other families, but Mrs. Xu was gloating on the sidelines, saying that she wanted to see how Mr. Jiang would show virtuous money in front of her in the future. Her daughter and Wei Zhen together made the prince’s palace into a mess. She really wanted to be virtuous.
You should persuade your daughter to value peace, and even if there is really something scandalous, you should help cover it up. It is really shameful to cause such a fuss.
It happened that Mrs. Zhou came to the uncle's house to visit her grandson. When her grandson's daughter-in-law saw that Mr. Xu was overly gloating about his misfortune, she frowned and said: "Kangjun Prince's Palace and Yuanping Uncle's Palace are related by marriage. If Kangjun Prince's Palace falls, Yuanping might not be able to survive."
There will also be something going on in the uncle's house."
Mrs. Xu was surprised: "No way, isn't it just wives and concubines fighting for favor, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not getting along? Whose family doesn't have it? Let alone the one far away, Yuan Ping's uncle's house had one the day before yesterday. It's serious enough to fall. Even if it falls, it's just one person.
We are just in-laws, how can we implicate Yuan Ping uncle's house."
Taifu Zhou looked around and saw that only the Xu family, Su Yiqing and Jiang Yuebai were around. He lowered his voice and said, "I just heard a little bit of rumors. I don't know if they are accurate. The person in charge sent to the northwest to purchase goods came back and said that the northwest border has been quite busy in the past two years."
It is not peaceful, there have been several disputes, and it is said that there was a small fight not long ago... I estimate that if this continues, something big may happen. Once the imperial court uses troops externally, the most lacking thing is money."
Mrs. Xu still didn't understand. What does the outbreak of war have to do with the fight for favor among the wives and concubines of the prince's palace? It can't be fought with eight poles.
Su Yiqing immediately thought of an allusion in history, the murder of the corrupt official Heshen. There is a folk proverb, "Heshen fell, Jiaqing was full." It is said that Emperor Qiankun had long wanted to deal with Heshen, but he insisted on leaving it to his son Jiaqing.
, the mediocre Emperor Jiaqing relied on He Shen's greedy wealth to remain emperor smoothly for decades.
Prince Kang's wealth may not be comparable to that of the leading corrupt officials in history, but it should be quite a lot. He can afford to support so many beauties, so he is definitely rich. I heard that Prince Kang is very good at amassing money.
But based on what happened in the backyard, is it possible for a dignified prince to confiscate his house?
Mrs. Zhou obviously guessed something, but she didn’t want to say more. She just asked Mrs. Xu to take care of the property of the manor shop. Some shops that need to go to the northwest to purchase goods should try to purchase as much goods as possible to prepare for emergencies. In addition, this
This is just private speculation and must not be disclosed to anyone.
When she said this, Mrs. Zhou's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai repeatedly said that she would never say a word, not to anyone.
After Mrs. Zhou left.
Su Yiqing also returned to Mrs. Cen's place.
Mrs. Cen rarely came to talk to her, and she kept talking in the room for a long time. Seeing her confused look, she frowned and asked directly, "I heard that Brother Xu's wife's brother
You don’t plan to take part in this exam, are you really that?”
Jiang Yueming had no intention of taking part in the examination. Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then said: "This granddaughter has never been mentioned by the fifth sister-in-law."
"You really don't know?" Mrs. Cen stared straight at Su Yiqing.
Su Yiqing generously met Mrs. Tai's eyes and said calmly: "If grandma wants to know, granddaughter can ask Fifth Sister-in-law immediately. I think Fifth Sister-in-law will not hide it."
She really didn't know and didn't think it was anything worth hiding.
"No, I'm just asking casually. Jiang Jieyuan is so talented and talented. It would be a pity not to participate in this examination." Mrs. Cen subconsciously avoided Su Yiqing's eyes and said calmly, "It's okay. Come back.
Room."
Su Yiqing bowed and slowly left.
As soon as Su Yiqing left, Mrs. Cen immediately said to Aunt Jin: "Look, I just asked her a question, what is her attitude? She is so arrogant at such a young age. It's really annoying. It's pitiful for my natal nephew. I will have to do it in the future."
To such a daughter-in-law."
Aunt Jin actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Yiqing's attitude. Although compared to other ladies, she was a little cold towards the Madam and didn't flatter her too much. She was polite and well-mannered, and there was nothing inappropriate. She smiled and said: "Miss Ninth, please
If you are young, you can still teach him slowly."
"We are getting married in one year, how long will we have to teach you?" Mrs. Cen felt uncomfortable when she thought of Su Yiqing's eyes, wishing that Su Yiqing would get married tomorrow.
